Ted Cruz Is Ahead of O’Rourke in Most Polls

On Friday’s New Day show on CNN, during a discussion of the upcoming congressional midterm elections and high desires by Democrats to defeat Texas Senator Ted Cruz, CNN Politics senior writer Harry Enten actually declared that, “unfortunately,” Cruz is ahead of Democrat Beto O’Rourke in most of the polls.

Enten made it sound “unfortunate” that Cruz is likely to win reelection as the CNN analyst began his analysis: “If liberal hopes could drive a Senate campaign to victory, Beto O’Rourke would be winning by 40 points. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the polls do show him losing, including a recent Quinnipiac poll that shows him down nine points in the state to Ted Cruz.”
